Blitz Se Intercooler Fitment

[ReeceGTS-T]

hello, I recently purchased a new blitz se intercooler with return flow from just jap, it is a very trick kit.

all instructions are in Japanese with guiding pictures.

I had a previous no brand intercooler fitted with similar style piping which retained the stock engine bay piping, but much less diameter.

the reo had already been trimmed for previous install so I had a rough guide and knew previously that I needed to trim the reo bar.

upon installing I found out that the reo needed to be trimmed another inch roundabouts on both sides as the cooler itself was a little longer, this was no worries but once done and lifted into position it seems its hitting on another bracket that sort of sits near the side of the headlight both sides and is just touching the bolt where the new bracket has been installed my question is do I need to do some more trimming or is my bracket up to high?

it looks like if I trim this section the bar will just fail to hold.

p.s this is on the r34.

can someone that has been through this give me some answers and help?

can I see some pictures of someones install and what problems they had and how you overcome that.

thanks.

The kit comes with two mounting brackets for the top of the cooler. One for the 33 one for the 34. You're definitely using the right one?

Just fit one on a few weeks ago myself. Was way easier than the Kkr install

I made sure everything including piping and brackets were loose. Started from left to right and made sure someone was pushing the cooler back towards engine as I tightened.

I bent the the bar slightly to fit.

Was very straight forward imo

yeah it's the shorter one of the 2 for the install.

i eneded up using the r33 piece and mounting the bracket to a different hole on the chassie gaurd part in the photo as there are 3 to choose from.

it was a perfect fit and the reason i got a new kit was to prevent bumper trimming as it was an aftermarket gtr look alike bumper. it fits perfect.

I just checked. I used the r33 piece too

Bolts straight up using the supplied brackets on my R32.

Did you notice a difference after the install?

i replaced a similar size intercooler with the blitz kit and didn't notice much difference but why i changed it, it deffiantly did and that was to make more room for the bumper and a cleaner look.

also be aware that the lower pipe will prob be the new lowest point at the front of your car, so each time you scrape at the front you are grating through the silicone hose. I noticed in time thankfully
